More from Edgar Allan Poe
"No spectacle can be more pitiable than that of a man without the commonest school education busying himself in attempts to instruct mankind on topics of polite literature."
"To the poet himself we have only to say-from any farther specimens of your stupidity, good Lord deliver us!"
"I have been a great sufferer. I have been a great sufferer from the misery of the world."
"Man's real life is happy, chiefly because he is ever expecting that it soon will be so."
"I call to mind flatness and dampness; and then all is madness - the madness of a memory which busies itself among forbidden things."
About Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849)
American Gothic poet and short-story writer who invented the detective story (Murders in the Rue Morgue) and shaped horror literature. Closely associated with Nathaniel Hawthorne (fellow American Gothic) and Charles Baudelaire (his French translator and torch-bearer). For an intellectual contrast, see Ralph Waldo Emerson, Transcendentalist optimist of self-reliance — Poe wrote essays attacking the entire Transcendentalist circle as didactic and intellectually thin — he derisively called them 'Frogpondians' and treated their cheerful mysticism as the literary opposite of his macabre realism.
